After working a really scabby construction job, I can no longer be nostalgic for this. I couldve easily died so many times and Im glad for safety equipment.

We were leaving the second floor and I froze at the top of the ladder

Did the bent rungs freak you out?

My husband and I were at a friend's property for a 4th of July bbq and he was showing us his new house under construction. We were leaving the second floor and I froze at the top of the ladder (the staircase hadn't been built in yet). I had to be gently encouraged and talked down by the two of them - my husband got on the ladder right below me so I'd feel safe that he'd catch me. It was so embarassing because it was our first time spending so much time with the host.

This video was wonderful but my palms broke into a sweat when he hoisted himself over that scaffolding. Bless him.

I’m very sorry about this but it’s making me chuckle

That caller was a plant -- there would have been much more of a delay for her if she was on live TV.

This, for a kids TV show, truly turns my stomach
It's not as high but the camera work makes me a little sick especially when he goes right up to the statue on the top.
